Been working on a new project the last couple of months and it's finally ready for beta release!

#Fedimeister is a #Java based #Mastodon client (available for #Linux, #Windows and #MacOS under the Apache #opensource license) with a focus on #writing and #journalism. Features:

* Break long texts into threads
* Scheduled posting
* Hashtag research
* #Twitter quote tweeting emulation

Not all, but some responsibilities.

If he manages to find a CEO, who does a better job (is #JohnMastodon available?), that will rub off on him, too.

Twitter will die. If not from this, then from whats happening in the engineroom.

If you voted "step down as CEO" in Elon Musk's phony poll, you did something wrong.

His motivation to buy #birdsite was not to run it, but to implement his version of #freespeech. Passing the mantle now means:

* Return to being a user
* Have someone else to pull the potatoes out of the fire
* Transfer #legal responsibility to that someone
* Stop the main drive for #twittermigration
* Recover biz cred
* Being the owner, still keep #twitter as a personal mouthpiece!

In short: he gets it all.

So, Vox Populi, Vox Dei... those #journalists who got kicked off #Twitter got their suspension lifted? That's actually a bad thing!

On the surface, it looks like #elonmusk eating the humble pie, but in reality, he just reigned in the press by making clear
that what can and can't be published on #birdsite is subject to his approval.

This was not a 5d chess move, but a pissing contest and Elon won it the moment, everyone started begging him to lift the ban.

(just a little bit of #perspective).
